ABE直接飞掉,答案是C,我选D。 语法笔记上的解释是mostly是副词,用在这里不正确。 在下疑问有三: 1.副词在这里的用法为什么是错误的呢? 2.C中them难道不存在指代歧义吗?作为复数代词应该是既可以指代astronomers也可以指代planets吧,而且不是应该还优先指代主语么?难道是them的宾格形式只能指代宾语而不能指代主语? 3.句末的circling,根据语法笔记,现在分词放在句尾既可以做定于修饰紧邻的名词也可以修饰整句话。那如果选C,circling可以做jupiter的定语。可否将most of them as larger or larger than Jupiter视为插入语修饰planets,circling修饰planets呢?那不是造成修饰歧义了么?
十分感谢这位大大的赐教,已经弄清楚就近指代的问题了。 那么想问一下 1.如果D修改成mostly they are as least large as Jupiter是不是比较就没有问题了呢。 2.circling如果修饰Jupiter的话应该从逻辑和语法上来说都还行得通吧,为啥就是修饰planets的呢?

原答案C是一般独立主格作状语,形式为
n.+ n.; n. + -ed/ing 形式; n. +介词短语;n. +形容词短语 要是改成...they are...就变成完整句子了,需要连词。
1.mostly是副词,at least as large as是比较结构,mostly和Jupiter比,不合理. 2.them不会有指代不清,在有两个指代的情况下,就近指代 3.我认为circling就是修饰planets的. D中which指代Jupiter, circle的单复数形式不对
